Resurrecting the dead: Delphi source analysis tool

Hello to all Delphi fans!

It's been some time since I worked with Delphi (2,5 years to be exact) and I've missed the old days quite a bit. Everything was so simple those days: there was one unit testing framework that nobody used, there were no source code quality checking tools like Sonar in Java or stylecop/fxcop in .NET and everything was up to you as a developer to do a good job. Man that was really something!

Anyways... Back in the days I wrote a tool to check for the complexity of Delphi source code. And I've had a reason for it, namely I worked on a project that (even for Delphi standards) seemed to be way above the complexity human beings can understand. For the sake of understanding what kind of beast I'm trying to actually tackle with it I've decided to write a small application that'd measure a couple of things.
